Close to 300 volunteers helped over 40 not-for-profit organizations in the Greater Danbury Area. From clearing trails at a local horse farm to painting stairwells, sorting through donated clothes, cleaning, pulling weeds or washing fire trucks and ambulances, there was something worthwhile to do everywhere. Generally all volunteers had fun and organizations appreciated the help.

Schedule:

Western Day of Service begins with check-in, continental breakfast and getting your FREE T-SHIRT at8 a.m. in White Hall 127.
